On The Brink

We're seeing in real time what happens when the United States relinquishes its position of power in the world. Forget this leading from behind rubbish. It's an oxymoron, emphasize the moron.

Another more convoluted one would be negotiating a nuclear agreement with a terror state while the terror state continues to cheat on a current agreement. It is also spreading its tentacles into a multitude of countries in a scheme which will ultimately bring it face to face with ISIL, both wanting the same end.

The Arab States are coming forward. The U.S. is nowhere to be seen in a leadership role anywhere. A civil war is brewing between Shites and Sunnis and it won't be pretty. It isn't pretty now.

What's also puzzleing is why are we having these negotiations in the first place if Iran isn't looking to make a bomb, as they insist? That seems to have gotten lost in the rush for a deal. They're contridicting themselves by their actions.

This is a lead up to a concern I have about the next Presidential election and the Democrats in particular. We currently have a President who thinks and behaves as though he is above the law. He isn't but there is no recourse. I don't think the founding fathers ever imangined such a person would ever assume the Presidency meaning the people would be to smart to elect such. Wrong. We elected him twice for all the wrong reasons. The first time we misunderstood what he openly told us about his goals.

The second time, why? We didn't think Romney 'understood' the little guy? We didn't trust his religion? We knew Obama was on shaky ground with his Benghazi story although the bulk of it didn't come out until after the election. The suspicions were there never-the-less.

We knew of the escalating flaws in Obamacare. We knew trouble was brewing at the IRS, along with several other issues. Yet we re-elected him. Like a TV show, were we curious to see how it would play out? Well, we're seeing it.

Now we face 2016 and Hillary. She expects no challengers yet she has a sack overflowing with ethics questions, misdirections and a paper trail destroyed by her own hands. We'll soon be free of one who has treated the office of President as his own personal dictatorial pedestal. Why on earth would we want another to occupy it? For that is exactly what Hillary wants. We should topple it, never to allow it to rise again.

Come on Democrats. Harry Reid is retiring. Hillary will have to groom her own personal savant willing to blindly do her bidding. I'm sure she will have that in Chuck Schumer if he assumes the leadership. Promise him face time before a camera and he'll be putty in her hands.

Isn't there anyone wearing the Democrat brand who sees this for what it is and will challenge her for the sake of the country? Please?
